Abstract

The peels of bananas grown in the African country of Burundi were incinerated and extracted with water. The soluble bases contained in the ashes were titrated with hydrochloric acid. The elements contained in the extracts and in the total ashes were analyzed by ICP atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results will be presented in the 2026 meeting of the Georgia Academy of Science.
